New York Stock Exchange.

New York. March 15.-The
stock market was much duller to-day,
but, with the exception of few
minutes in the early morning, pre-
sented a firm front and the foremost
part OF the losses of yesterday were
generally recovered. The opening this
morning was firm, the first prices. in
majority of the stock being from Is to
q per cent above the final figures of
last evening while Hooking Valley was
up "A per cent. The hammering by the
bears and the extraordinary weakness
in West Point, which dropped ~ per
cent, carried the general list down
and the gains of the opening
were generally wiped out. A rally
quickly followed, however, and before
the end of the first hour the early
losses were regained. After that time,
the market became dull, with very
slight fluctuations, though the changes
made were invariably in the direction
of higher prices until nearly 2pM.,
when the market sagged slightly. The
last hour saw renewal of the upward
movement, however, and the close was
moderately active and strong at the
highest prices of the day.
Government bonds were dull and
rather heavy.

malGSFE'S WATER S0FlEsinG AND
FilTEE RAPlDE.

\ large number of scientific gen.
tlemen, either connected with or
interested in pure water supply to
the metropolis, attended at the es-
tablishmcnt of Messrs. =. a.
Maignrn * Co., st. Mary-at-Hill,
recently, for the purpose of testing
the apparatus which has been in
vented and patented, for the pur-
pose of preventing disease conse-
quent on the contamination of water,
by means of filtration on IL princi-
pie for which they have obtained
distinguished marks of merit in the
shape of gold, silver, and bronze
medals, at ali our own us well as
foreign public exhibitions, and also
TO investigate another and most i'm
portant discovery, called Anti Cal
cairc, which has proved the most
effective process which has ever
been introduced for converting hard
into soft water. With reference to
the Filtr, Rapidc the company were
shown vast number of interesting
experiments which not only proved
the rapidity with which water of the
most impure and stagnant character
could be converted into water of the
pure5t description, but even wine
trlar") could be dcnuded Of all its
usual qualities and converted into
perfectly crystal liquid, The chief
feature, however, was to show the
extraordinary results which had fol-
lowed Mr.. Nfaignen's discovery in
reference TO the softcning of hard
water. With respect to the water
soGtening process, the effects of
"Anli' i'Calcaire" were explained.
Many eXpostons We're made as to
the high importance with regard to
health and general comfort deriv-
able from converting hard water into
soft water. The gentlemen who had
the opportunity Of witnessing the
experiments, and making the Tests,
were highly interested in the re-
suits produced.- Home News.

ABOUT EuLL DRESS Al pAHTiEG.

EDITOR BULLETIN The editorial
in last nights BULLETIN, on the sub
iect of full dress on informal occa-
-ions. has opened channel for dis
cussion, which in the end may re-
suit in II radical change in the man
uer in which informal parties are
conducted. Many young men who
receive invitations to such parties
absent themselves for no other
reason than that they have no dress
suit and don't want to appear odd
by going in any other dress, WHEN
if the custom were abolished those
people would have attended. How
much Of thi, fault can be laid TO the
ladies: and how can they GI they
will) remedy this growing evil? /
don't know that they are to blame
for the custom, but certainly do
know, that ii lies in theirpower to make
it nnfashionablc, and consequently
unpopular, Ii when one Of these
parties are gotten up, and invita-
tons are being issued in writing or
otherwise, they would say, please
don'tcomeina dress suit, ,"how many
Of the gentlemen do you think would
wear one: Not onc, and this Gus
tom persisted in, in II very short
time would revoiutionizc the whole
system, and in place of an informal
party being tiff dress affair, the
whole thing would be free from re-
strant, and most enjoyable. Such
events would be looked forward to
with extreme pleasure by all who
were fortunate enough to receive
invitations aud not as is the case
now, with feelings Of distrust that
the affair may be brilliant success
so far rs dress is concerned, but
lacking in all the essentials that
made up an enjoyable evening.
